Chapter 521 Sure, I'll Let You Go
the assassin leader wanted to retort.
however, how could he even have the time to do so when they only have five seconds?
the more time he wasted, the slimmer their chances of capturing their target became, and the higher the death toll on their side grew.
even now, in the two-second battle sequence wherein shye killed one of his underlings in exchange for moderate damage to his body, eight of his underlings had already been killed by the familiar spirit.
he needed to end things on his side, and fast!
"warren, try to bind him with your control skill while i attack!"
"roger, team leader dox!"
narrowing his eyes, shye switched back to dual greatswords, gripping their handles tightly in preparation for dox's assault.
milliseconds later, a huge yellow sword materialized above shye, prompting him to look up as he sensed its mighty aura. stay updated through empire
"where are you looking, rookie?"
'cr*p!'
as it turned out, the sword was nothing but a realistic diversion—a mere illusion to momentarily capture his attention.
the real attack came from right in front of him.
"surrender, arrogant brat! herculean split!"
winds howled as they were forcefully parted by an enormous golden slash mark that fiercely advanced toward shye—a difficult attack to defend, especially when he was bamboozled by the huge illusion sword.
[your trait, [unfazed heart], has activated!]
'nightfall reaper!'
he was caught off guard.
however, shye wasn't someone who would panic in such a situation, especially after acquiring a trait that would help him do so.
without hesitation, he immediately used one of his trump cards to defend himself.
naturally, watching shye's seemingly idiotic actions of facing the enormous slash mark head-on brought a cold mocking smile to dox's face.
a mere rookie audaciously facing one of his strongest attacks directly? delusional!
hence, he couldn't believe his eyes when his herculean slash was split horizontally in half before dissipating into golden orbs that scattered to the four winds.
unfortunately for dox, shye was aware of his possible split-second loss of focus, capitalizing on it by using [blink] to teleport right beside the assassin leader—mithra already exchanged for the ruby-tier elemental staff.
'that's fine. great job, zeth. i already captured this one anyway. you have a skill that inflicts [fear] stacks, correct?'
'fear stacks? i do not know what that is, master. however, i do have an aura skill that strikes fear into the hearts of my opponents.'
'yes, that! i'll restrain him, and together we can use our aura skills to force answers out of him.'
'understood, master.'
lifting the unconscious body of the captured assassin, shye tied the man up using stamina-draining shackles, ensuring that it would be impossible for the man to free himself.
the master and familiar then activated their aura skills, steadily increasing the [fear] stacks over time.
thirty minutes later, the captured assassin woke up with a splitting headache, and then, moments after opening his eyes, he screamed in utter fear.
in front of him were two demonic entities with extremely distorted and spine-chilling features.
suddenly, one of them spoke:
"now then, i just need to know two things. if you answer me, i'll let you go."
"first question, what's the name of your organization?"
to the captured assassin's pov, shye's voice sounded like a mixture of an old woman's voice and the laughter of children—extremely unnerving.
however, the man truly wanted to live.
hence, despite trembling in fear, he hurriedly answered.
"i-i-i'm from an organization called black retribution syndicate."
"good, only one more question. where's the location of your main headquarters?"
"i-i truly don't know where the main headquarters are. h-however, our team's headquarters is located near bakkbor city in the weaven region, at a place known as the forgotten vale."
due to the easy interrogation, shye couldn't help but smile.
'master shye, are most humans such cowards? how could they betray their comrades in exchange for their lives? have they no pride?'
'hahaha, that's what we humans are like. however, that also makes us dangerous because many of us are willing to do anything to survive. it's hard to wipe us out, don't you think?'
'hmm... when you put it that way, i have to agree.'
"p-please, let me go! i've already answered all your questions!"
hearing the desperate assassin's pitiful voice, shye smiled mockingly.
"fine, i'll let you go. however, i will be the one to decide where you go, and i've decided that you're going to... the afterlife!"
